CA TP.HCM Club won all matches at Thong Nhat Stadium

On the night of August 28, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club (HCMC Police) regained its winning streak in the V-League 2025 - 2026 when it defeated HAGL 1-0, thanks to striker Endrick's goal in the 41st minute, thereby returning to the top group in the top 6.

In particular, this is the second consecutive victory of CA TP.HCM Club at Thong Nhat Stadium, helping them maintain a 100% winning rate at home. Very quickly, Thong Nhat Stadium has become a special support for Coach Le Huynh Duc and his team.

After the opening match was packed, Thong Nhat Stadium welcomed 6,000 spectators to support the match, a significant number in the pouring rain. Many fans did not even wear raincoats but still cheered for coach Le Huynh Duc and his team throughout the match.

After the final whistle blew, many drenched fans still lingered to celebrate and cheer for the team. On the contrary, Coach Le Huynh Duc, the coaching staff and the players proactively approached to express their gratitude.

That image moved many football fans in Ho Chi Minh City because for a long time, the connection between fans and the city's football teams playing at Thong Nhat Stadium has always lacked a certain emotional connection.

If we had to turn back time, we would have to go back to the late 90s of the last century or the early 2000s, when Thong Nhat Stadium was always full of fighting fire with powerful names like CA TP.HCM Club, Saigon Port, and Customs before they retreated due to historical conditions.

Later teams such as Navibank Saigon, Saigon Xuan Thanh, Saigon FC, Ho Chi Minh City Club... made certain efforts, but for many reasons they still could not reconnect the close emotional attachment to receive recognition from the city's fans.

It was not until this season, after 20 years of waiting, that Ho Chi Minh City fans are gradually regaining their emotions, lighting up the flames of cheering from the stands of Thong Nhat Stadium, even though they have to frankly admit to each other that Ho Chi Minh City CA Club is still far from the championship race group.

The key lies in the return of the brand of the HCM City Police Club that was associated with many generations of young people in the city several decades ago, with the symbol of leader Le Huynh Duc. The team does not have many players born in the city, but the fans see the solidarity of the whole team.

The dream of having players trained by the HCM City Police Club will be a long-term problem, waiting for proper investment for many years. The way the city's fans braved the rain to support the HCM City Police Club shows that people are much more "open-minded" than we think.

The important thing is that Ho Chi Minh City fans are feeling the efforts of a whole team that wants to rebuild a prominent brand "made in Ho Chi Minh City", with very clear criteria based on collective strength, fighting style of play and especially: truly respecting the audience.

The season is still long, and CA TP.HCM Club still faces many challenges. Hopefully, the fire between the team and the fans will be protected and nurtured to grow stronger according to the club's strength, regaining the strength to conquer the worthy position of the city's football.
